@vince
for his GW2000 yes, but for his W830 no - the W830 doesn't have the
local Ecowitt API - there only the interceptor works (and quite well)

FWIW the gw1000 driver is 'much' easier to get going especially if
you're new to the pi. Works great.

Interceptor... I saw that earlier....?
Going forwards I'll stop running and walk slowly through this.
Thank you.
By the way the Clock on my VHS VCR is still Flashing... I must
read the Instruction Manual one day. (If you are not of a certain
age, you are not going to get that joke).
But in all seriousness, I am struggling a bit finding my way
around all of this jargon, so I thought that before getting too
much further lost, I thought I'd wave and ask for guidance.
I've learnt a great deal so far on this massive learning curve,
but obviously I am not up to this ...yet.
Bear with me whilst I uninstall it all again, and start a fresh again.
Many thanks for the Links, I'm off to do some more reading.

The Ventus W830 is a Ecowitt WH2910 clone. In your mail it is
not clear what "it" means. Your RaspberryPi, weewx, the
console.... ?
Maybe you should first make yourself familiar with your
environment, your setup, the architecture and then see where
weewx comes into play.
I suggest you read
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0 and read the
Ecowitt/FineOffset WiKi linked therein.
Read the chapters about data flow and understand where weewx
comes into play.
Then there are several chapters about how to connect an
Ecowitt console to data logger programs like weewx - even with
the special example of weewx.
For your W830 you can (only) use the weewx interceptor driver,
for your GW2000 the Ecowitt gateway driver aka GW1000 driver.
The weewx WiKi, even though having significantly improved over
time, does not give too much attention to the Ecowitt universe
yet.
But there is the Fine Offset / Ecowitt WiKi which jumps in
here regarding which Ecowitt (clone) consoles are supported.
The weewx WiKi itself is still widely focused on old legacy
models of Fine Offset clone consoles and stations.
So, I suggest you read this first (see above) and then come
back here if still needed - by the way, the Simulator driver
is only to show that weewx has been set up properly in
principle. It won't work with your console (Weather Station).
Having read the weewx documentation you could have understood
that - but to be fair, it took me also a longer time to come
to grips with the jargon etc. used even though being an IT
professional.

I have just joined, and cannot get my Raspberry Pi configured
for my Ventus W830 PWS. It is linked to various Online
Weather sites including Weather Underground via it's Display.
I also have it linked to an Ecowitt GW2000 that is not
currently linked to any Online Weather sites.
I have read the User Guide, and followed various Tutorials,
but I am none the wiser as to why it does not work?
Is there a step by step guide that is written for a complete
novice like me to follow?
Although the Ventus W830 is listed in the Compatible Hardware
List as a Fine Offset model it does not appear in the
Available Hardware Types in the Software on my Raspberry Pi.
I have tried using Simulator, plus all of the (dozen or so)
options for the various types of PWS listed in the software.
What am I not doing correctly, or what I have missed, I have
no idea? I have just followed the Instructions in the
"Guide". But there still seem to be lots of CRITICAL
__main__: errors in Red, so it is a bit catistrophic?
I am not a programmer, nor that familiar with a Raspberry Pi.
All I know is what I have been struggling with here, and
following YouTube videos.
Any help would be very, very much appreciated.
